: one of the techs mentioned a drug used elsewhere, i think she called it 'forten' or something like that. has anyone heard of that?

It is possible that she was referring to ceftazidime which is sold under the trade name Fortaz. Quite a useful drug for reptiles. It is active against gram negatives and is fairly easy on the kidneys. It must be injected, it is poorly absorbed orally.
